After the polarizing reception of the final of the original series of “Dexter”, the former showrunner of the Clyde Phillips series developed the series in a row “Dexter: New Blood” as a means of continuing the history of the serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall). The final of that The series, which saw the old Miami Metro PD of Miami living a new life in a winter city in New York, has mainly tried to straighten the ship by giving the titular character a more appropriate end. Unfortunately, Dexter’s “death” in the hands of his teenage son Harrison (Jack Alcott) has proven to be a controversial decision according to the fans. It really seemed that the “Dexter” franchise would be in a perpetual state to have to compensate for the last error he continued.
It was easy to make fun of the idea of a prequel series, considering that some of the funniest moments of the flagship show came from young Dexter flashbacks with mainly hall in a ridiculously horrible wig. This did not seem to dissuade Paramount, because the Greenlight was given to Phillips the following year to develop one, which ultimately became “Dexter: Original Sin”. Taking up 15 years before the events of the first season of the original series, “Original Sin” follows a 20 -year -old Dexter (Patrick Gibson) taught by his adopted father Harry Morgan (Christian Slater) to control his fatal impulses and learn to kill without being captured through the code. A decade and a half is a big gap to fill concerning the history of Dexter by Miami Metro PD STUI partially Setted on the “Dexter” Empire.
According to a Variety report, Paramount officially canceled “Dexter: Original Sin” after a single season. The attachment to the show at the killing table of the titular character is very surprising given that he was supposed to be renewed for a second season in April. Although Russell Murray of / Film has put “Original SIN” to the low level of Dexter television production, the prequel series received a reception mixed with positive and has a critical note of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, in addition to receiving decent notes. If you are wondering why Paramount has disconnected the Showtime show, there are some reasons.
Dexter: Original Sin had been initially renewed for season 2
Variety’s report implies the cancellation of “original sin” is the result of wanting to focus on “Dexter: Resurrection”, which resumes weeks after the events of “New Blood”. The follow -up series of the initial series in a row follows Dexter (hall) not only by healing from its ball injury to the chest, but after Harrison in New York. During his stay, he finds himself mingling with the company of a club of serial killers played by Uma Thurman, Neil Patrick Harris, Krysten Ritter and Peter Dinklage, among others. Where the “new blood” has largely kept the things contained in the city of Iron Lake, “Resurrection” currently widens the scope of the series in NY as a kind of serial killer playground. There are around two episodes in the current season, and since Paramount opens a writers room for a second batch of potential episodes, it seems likely that making the story advance instead of looking back was the way to follow.
According to Variety, the recent fusion of Paramount with Skydance is what forced the framework, Matt Thunnell, to chop the prequel route in order to focus more on hall only planted in the role. It is an intelligent decision, well considered. As far as Patrick Gibson did his best to imitate his television predecessor, it especially appeared an impression. He would be overshadowed in almost all episodes, because his internal monologue was expressed by Hall. The prequel is presented through the perspective of the Hall Dexter, whose life flashes before his eyes on the way to the hospital a few moments after the end of the “new blood”. The young Dexter was doomed to failure if Gibson could not hold on without the presence of hall.
One of the greatest, uh, sins of “original sin” lies in not going too far from the status quo. At the end of the first episode, Dexter de Gibson is already an element of Miami Metro PD. Characters such as Det. Maria Laguerta (Christina Milian), Det. Angel Batista (James Martinez) and Vince Masuka (Alex Shimizu) are played by young actors carrying the same kind of costumes which they often wore in the original series. It’s like “Muppet Babies” for aficionados “Dexter”. “Original Sin” felt largely superfluous and useless, because there is very little to explore that anyone who saw the eight seasons of the flagship show could not have already deduced. We are not sad to see him go.
Each episode of “Dexter: Original Sin” is currently in broadcast on Paramount +.
